Default Squat Secrets

Give them to me.

My deadlift almost doubled once I got the technique down over the last couple months, but since Maximum Strength has had me doing a lot of front squats, I haven't had much time to really practice squat technique. I'm doing low bar squats and I've read starting strength and watched videos, but it feels like I'm not flexing the right muscles in the right sequence, or benefiting from the shortened stretch reflex.

I am 165 pounds and 6 foot.
Current Bench Press 240 1RM
Squat I'm guessing is 215 1RM
Deadlift Im guessing 325 1RM
30" vertical leap

I just started phase 3 of cressey's maximum strength, and I'd really like to harness my technique.

Any tricks other than wearing a santa hat?
